His girlfriend Kylie has been accompanying him to awards ceremonies that he’s been attending for his portrayal as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.
But the Kardashian’s star was noticeably absent from the SAG Awards, after the death of Jesus Guerrero – which was revealed on Sunday 23 February.
Instead, Timothee attended the awards ceremony with his mother, Nicole Flender.
Jesus’ cause of death has not yet been revealed, with make-up mogul Kylie, 27, also not releasing a public tribute as yet.
Kylie Jenner has not posted on social media since the heartbreaking news was announced.
On Saturday, Jesus’ younger sister Gris released an emotional statement confirming the passing of the Texas native – and revealing the family had set up a GoFundMe page in his honor.
She wrote in her emotional message: “My name is Gris, Jesus’s younger sister.
“It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven.
“He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more.”
She added: “Born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents, Jesus learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top.
“Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly.
“Currently, his family is taking care of his personal belongings and accommodations to bring him home to Houston.
“We hope that you find it in your heart to help in any way and/or share this GoFundMe.”
Jesus’ tragic passing came after his trip with his “main girly” Kylie in January.
He took to his Instagram grid to upload a snap showing the pair posing for a mirror selfie, as well as a slew of Kylie’s stunning looks.
On January 7, Kylie ‘liked’ an image he posted of her Golden Globes hairstyle, which left one fan gushing: “You are KILLING it with her hair recently!!!”
Previously, the Kylie Cosmetics founder joked about a haircut from her close pal and quipped on her page: “@jesushair said he was giving me a trim and cut off all my hair.”
His most recent Instagram post, uploaded on February 3, showcased a collection of his hairstyles for famous faces at the Grammy’s.
Jesus was also known for styling J-Lo and Katy Perry‘s locks, creating the later’s infamous spiked style last year.

1 week agoNews 1Comments Off on Britain’s Got Talent in new ‘fix’ row as Simon ‘pretends’ he doesn’t know act – two years after US appearance
BRITAIN’S Got Talent has found itself embroiled in a new “fix” row after eagle-eyed fans of the franchise recognised an act Simon Cowell “didn’t know”.
On this weekend’s show, fans were left “feeling sick” when Auzzy Blood, a gothic cabaret stuntman, performed tricks including putting a giant screw through his mouth and nose, and hoisting himself into the air with a hook through his jaw.

NBCThe act previously appeared on America’s Got Talent in 2022[/caption]
NBCSimon was on the AGT panel alongside Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel[/caption]
Alesha Dixon buzzed the act saying she “couldn’t watch it”, while viewers at home said they wanted to complain to Ofcom.
However, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli voted for him to stay, with Simon in particular being enamoured by his sadistic routine.
But viewers of the worldwide franchise were left scratching their head over Simon “pretending like he didn’t know” Auzzy, considering he had appeared on the show before.
Auzzy Blood, real name Austin Punton, is a cabaret performed from Las Vegas who first appeared on America’s Got Talent in 2022.
On stage, he declared himself “a sideshow freak who likes to endanger his life for other people’s entertainment and to show people they can truly accomplish anything you put your mind to.”
For his audition on the show, Auzzy was seen swallowing a number of knives, battering one into his mouth with a steal beam before asking judge Howie Mandel to get in on his act and push one down his gullet.
He eventually made it through, but was knocked out in that season’s wildcard round.
Auzzy ramped up menacing act for BGT, adopting an evil laugh and grin and refusing to talk to the judges, trading words for intense glares.
The three-time Guinness World Record holder openly says on his Instagram he has appeared on six iterations of the Got Talent franchise.
He made it to the finale in Spain, where he was seen putting hooks into his eyelids, and also appeared on the French version of the show as well.
Taking to the YouTube video of his BGT performance, commenters quickly questioned why Simon pretended not to know who the act was.
“The funniest thing for me was Simon acting like he never saw this guy before, he was on Americas got talent 2 years ago and Simon was a judge,” wrote one.
Another noted: “Simon has become a good actor”
“Simon has done it many times, Piff the Magic Dragon, Tape Face, Wes P, Gonzo to name a few. The show is fake, in 2009 every contestant to perform last from the semi finals went through and in the final Paul Potts performed last and he won they got heat for it so changed it,” said another infuriated viewer.
“Simon Brodkin proved this, not to mention that some of the winners are already established artists because they dont have to pay them if they’re giving them a bigger platform.”
The Sun has reached out to Britain’s Got Talent reps for comment.
Auzzy is far from the first star to make multiple appearances across the different iterations of the Got Talent franchise.
BGT rules do not state that you cannot compete even if you’ve appeared elsewhere, or if you’re a professional act.
A source previously told The Sun acts with past performing experience as it “all boils down to the public vote”.
“The show has never hidden the fact that auditions are open to everybody, irrespective of previous experience, and everybody is given the same opportunity on the show,” they said.
“Regardless of experience, these contestants are not household names, and are unknown to most of the public.
“The show offers contestants an opportunity to perform on a Global scale and pursue their dreams”.

1 week agoNews 1Comments Off on How reckless street gangs are snapping up illegal guns knocked together in DIY factories & slaughtering kids young as 17
It was like a scene from a gangster movie.
As 17-year-old Tyler McDermott emerged into the night after a party, he was shot in the head at point-blank range before being slashed by a machete as he lay defenceless on the ground.

The shooter then took aim at Tyler’s teenage friend Kamali Lindo and missed before disappearing into the darkness.
It’s a killing that wouldn’t seem out of place in America’s gun capital Chicago, but Tyler, who was heavily involved in the music scene, was killed on the streets of north London in Tottenham.
Britain has some of the tightest gun controls in the world, but violent gangs and drug dealers are increasingly converting blank weapons in basements, garden sheds and bedrooms across Britain.
Four people were killed and 17 seriously injured with makeshift weapons last year, when more converted guns (64) were fired than real handguns (42).
In the last four years, cops have recovered 800 guns converted to fire live ammunition – and experts warn it’s young, reckless gang members who are the most likely to snap them up for use in trigger-happy shootings.
NCA deputy director Charles Yates told The Sun: “Your traditional organised criminal is probably going to think twice before using a firearm whereas your urban street gang is likely to more readily use them.”
Up until this year, the blank shooters could easily be bought by over-18s online or at fishing and shooting shops across Britain for just a few hundred pounds.
Criminal gangs make thousands converting them into live weapons by tampering with the blocked barrels of top-venting blanks bought mainly from Turkey, where gunfire is common at weddings and other celebrations.
Four makes of Turkish guns are now banned from the end of this month after the National Crime Agency – Britain’s version of the FBI – proved how easily the Retay, Ekol, Ceonic ISSC and Blow blanks could be turned into deadly weapons.
Around 10,000 are believed to be in circulation across the UK after mainly being bought for use in movies, at sports events or coveted by collectors.
Owners now have until February 28 to hand them in to police stations across the country or risk up to 10 years in jail.
Charles Yates told The Sun: “Criminals would ideally like to get their hands on a firearm like a Glock because that’s what they’ve seen on TV but they can’t necessarily get hold of one, so they’re having to make do with what they can get their hands on.
“They identified that these top venting blank firearms could be converted with some relative ease and they still end up killing people.
“They look authentic, particularly if they’re painted black and have a trigger mechanism and magazine that contains bullets, just as a normal firearm has.
“They pose a significant threat.”
Senseless killing

Victim Tyler, pictured as an innocent schoolboy, was leaving a music recording studio in the early hours of April 13, 2023, when he was shot and stabbed after a row over filming inside the premises.
The shooter Tyrese Barnett, 20, of Newham, London, and Leo Reid, 21, from south-west London, who slashed Tyler with a machete, tried to flee Britain but were caught by cops at Heathrow Airport with one-way tickets to Jamaica.
In a victim impact statement at the Old Bailey, Tyler’s sister Zara said: “I will never understand why these boys did what they did; however hard I try, I cannot forgive them.”
Barnett was jailed for life with a minimum sentence of 30 years while Reid, also convicted of murder, will serve at least 22 years.
Two accomplices Rhys Antwi, 20, of Lambeth, London, who was armed with a sword hidden underneath his clothes, and Kalam Bagge, 19, who carried a knife, were also given life.
Indiscriminate violence

Tyler is far from the only victim.
Drug dealer Justice McCann, 22, shot an innocent stranger in the chest with a converted Turkish-made Retay in Luton, narrowly missing his heart.
He was jailed for 22 years after his victim, known only as Jakob, spent two weeks in hospital and later returned to Poland saying the attack – featured on Channel 4’s 24 Hours in Police Custody – had destroyed his life and left him too scared to leave his home.
Police found there was no motive for the shooting in August 2019.

Cops and National Crime Agency bosses have made several big busts on outlaws converting guns.
Earlier this month, Londoner Luke Parr, 23, was jailed for 10 years after police found he was making firearms in his garden shed in Dagenham.
In January, the head of an organised crime group who sold guns and ammo across the UK was jailed for 30 years alongside two of his associates.
Ashley Latimer-Basil, 36, his brother Michael, 39, and Robert Kenna, 35, had key roles within a network which converted blanks to sell to gangsters.
The Cambridgeshire trio were given a combined 68 years and nine months.
Assistant Chief Constable Tim Metcalfe, National Police Chiefs’ Council lead for the criminal use of firearms, warned gangsters that more fake guns will be tested with a view to making them illegal.
He said: “There are numerous other models out there which we feel are slightly harder to get hold of, but will be testing them in the next few months.
“This amnesty is the public’s chance to stop weapons like this falling into the wrong hands.
“In the last two years, policing and the NCA have disrupted several gangs making these pistols into live weapons and one investigation recovered more than 400 converted guns.”
Around 1,000 weapons have been handed in to police stations around the UK as part of the month-long amnesty.

MATT WILLIAMS warned Ireland that Antoine Dupont “is like nothing I’ve ever seen” following his latest heroics for France.
The Toulouse scrum-half was in typically magnificent form for Les Bleus in their 73-24 win over Italy at the weekend, scoring two tries.

Simon Easterby‘s men are chasing a third Championship on the trot, while they remain on course for a second Grand Slam in three years after beating Wales at the weekend.
However, former Leinster and Ulster coach Matt Williams warned they will come up against an all-time great in Antoine Dupont.
He was speaking on Virgin Media following France’s hammering of Italy.
And he said: “My dad’s been dead for a long time but he told me my grandfather took him to see the great Don Bradman play.
“He was the greatest cricketing batsman of all time.
“My grandfather said to him, ‘you’ve got to see him because there is going to be no one else like him in your life.’
“Take your kids to see Dupont. he is like nothing I’ve ever seen.
“I look back on the old videos of Gareth Edwards – legendary try for the Barbarians against the All Blacks in 1973.
“I would love to sit down with [ex-Ireland and Lions lock] Willie John McBride and ask him, ‘Mr McBride, what do you think? Him, Gareth Edwards, or Dupont?’
“He does it for Toulouse, he does it for France, he does it every time he goes out on the field.”
In 2024, Dupont stepped away from rugby XVs to switch to play for the France 7s at the Paris Olympics.
The move paid off in a big way, as the 28-year-old inspired his country to a gold medal.
He added that accolade to four Top14 titles and two European Champions Cups for Toulouse, and the 2022 Six Nations.
In 2021, meanwhile, he was named World Rugby Men’s XVs Player of the Year.
And due to his heroics at the Olympics, he was named 2024 World Rugby Men’s 7s Player of the Year.
Williams added: “He wins an Olympic gold medal at sevens, scores three tries in four minutes in the final to win the gold medal!
